Mythology

The world of Villainous.

STRAFFEN ASYLUM

Isolated in the woods of Redfield Forest, Straffen asylum stands deep amongst the foliage. It was established in the late 1800's and has been constantly renovated up until present day; retaining it an intimidating gothic look with the more clinically modern. The reputation it has built is outstanding, but not without controversy. It's experimentation regarding psychotherapy has been under scrutiny for years; both praised and rejected by various circles.

SUN-DALE MALL

Brought to its uplifting and sunny feet in the 1970's, Sun-Dale mall with its relaxing music, varied shopping for all the family and bright decor has embraced many customers. Tragedy struck though, as a terrorist attack by the infamous Victor Arkin destroyed most of its foundation. It remains closed today, and will be scheduled for demolition.
